Please evaluate my profile!! Thank you for your help

Realize that some of the elite management consulting firms use the GMAT as a screening tool and 700 is the number they want to see on the GMAT. You may want to consider retaking the GMAT.

I suggest you target programs like USC, UT Austin, CMU Tepper, and UNC.
